I gotta say - best Christmas present ever. Thank you brother.

Rebirth (and Afterbirth, might I add) takes the original Binding of Isaac and does exactly what it should do. As the saying goes, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But everything it has added has been very necessary and makes the experience even more enjoyable than the original - three save files as opposed to one, controller compatibility, more enemies, more items, more awesome - basically. The graphics and art style hasn't changed much but it's noticeable, and I like it. The pixelation and slightly darker colouring is most certainly appreciated. And the controls as a whole are a lot more comfortable. I can't return to the original now without it feeling heavier in comparison.

A job well done, and a game I will probably enjoy for weeks and months to come.
